If you have completed your doctoral degree within the last three years and would like to continue building your experience and knowledge in basic and applied science and technology, you could be hired for a postdoctoral appointment at Sandia.

Sandia's postdoctoral program provides opportunities to work with top scientists and engineers using state-of-the-art instruments and tools. Postdoctoral appointees conduct leading-edge research, publish and present their findings, collaborate with others in academia and industry, and contribute to the advancement of technology in a wide variety of scientific fields.

Postdocs at Sandia bring together a wide range of scientific disciplines and diverse backgrounds from premier universities around the world. The postdocs form a vibrant community that is supported in many ways. For example, our Postdoctoral Professional Development Program, known as (PD)2P, provides an active social and career networking group that connects young researchers, highlights their work, and creates opportunities to advance their skills for future success. By providing professional development resources, (PD)2P helps postdocs attain their full potential as outstanding independent researchers.
